NBN Awards for Biological Recording and Information Sharing: who will you nominate?

Nominations have opened for the 2017 UK Awards for
Biological Recording and Information Sharing!

Developed in 2015 by the National Biodiversity Network, the
National Forum for Biological Recording and the Biological Records Centre,
these annual Awards celebrate the individuals, the newcomers and the groups of
people or organisations that are making outstanding contributions to biological
recording and improving our understanding of the natural world in the UK.

All too often the painstaking work that individual and
groups of biological recorders undertake is not publicly recognised. So help us put that right, and nominate your
unsung hero!

Nominating someone couldn’t be simpler, just fill in our
short form explaining how your nominee is making an exceptional contribution in
the world of UK biological recording. You can even nominate yourself!

Nominations close on 31 July, so please don’t leave it too
late….. Bit.ly/NBNawards

This year, the five short-listed nominees from each award
category will be announced on 29 September, giving us the opportunity to
recognise the achievements of more biological recorders than in previous years.

The winners will be announced at a special ceremony that is
part of the National Biodiversity Network's annual conference in November.
